About Me

I am happily married to the most wonderful man I ever took a chance on. I enjoy time spent in the kitchen - it relaxes me.
As someone pointed out to me, the kitchen is often the heart of the home. It is in ours.

Mr. & Mrs. Potts!

Established November 8, 2008

This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

I found that however much I love food, there are other things that occupy my time/thoughts. Some serious - God, family, health, love and more. Other thoughts are definitely not serious - fashion, cosmetics, moisturizers, conditioner and perhaps even my search for the perfect pair of running shoes.

Why share all this with "strangers"? My husband, Mr. Potts, tells me I am a chatty Cathy something akin to a wind up doll where you pull the string and the chatting starts. He appreciates the fact that I choose to spare him (sometimes) all these random thoughts. Yet, he also benefits from my musings on food and my experiments in our kitchen.

A Few Drool Worthy Pictures

**Warning**If you are hungry right now, you may want to have a snack before you scroll down.Better now? Ok!

I have been making all these wonderful, yummy dinners for Mr. Potts and myself lately. I've been taking pictures too - just to document that I actually can make roasted butternut squash soup from scratch. I finally, just now downloaded (or uploaded - which is correct?) the pictures. Enjoy!!

Note: If you would like either of these recipes, leave me a comment & I'll be happy to email them to you. I'd post them, but this post is already so long.

Spicy Chile Chicken Tortilla BakeInto the ovenFinished productThis is so good, even though it looks really ugly! It has green chiles, a secret hot sauce (given to us by a neighbor), shredded chicken, corn tortillas, cream of chicken & some other things. Kind of like a Mexican lasagna - which is good for me, since I've been craving Mexican food & it isn't really diet/health friendly. At least not what I've been craving.

Side note: I follow Living in Dallas & Loving it! (you should too - she's wonderful!). Kimmie loves cupcakes and on Sundays posts pictures of various yummy ones. She also posted 2 super cute ones for Groundhog's Day. Since she's been posting the yummy goodness, my desire for a cupcake has multiplied 100fold. So yesterday for lunch I went and got one. That was lunch. Oh, and an apple - you know, to make it healthy. These are the cupcakes I picked up (I got one for each of my department members also) - I had the carrot cake (bottom left corner of the picture). I'm going back on Friday for Strawberry. MMMMMMMMAre you hungry now?
